Amadeus

In 1791, they say, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died accusing a rival composer, Antonio Salieri, of having poisoned him. In 1823, they say, a desperate Salieri confessed to the murder on the last night of his life. Amadeus is the story of Salieri's war against God for making his music mediocre while favoring the vulgar Mozart as His divine instrument. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Academy Award for Best Picture.
